Rulers and Subjects
Baha'u'llah forbids tyranny and oppression in the most emphatic terms. In Hidden Words He writes: - (90:6)

Rulers and Subjects
O Oppressors of Earth!

Rulers and Subjects
Those entrusted with the framing and administration of laws and regulations must "hold fast to the cord of consultation and adopt and enforce that which is conducive to the security, prosperity, wealth and tranquillity of the people. For were any measure other than this to be adopted, it could not but result in chaos and commotion." - Tablets of Baha'u'llah, Tablet of the World (90:8)
